Ajdučka pleskavica

Ajdučka pleskavica is a traditional chicken meat patty hailing from North Macedonia. The dish is typically made with white meat cuts of chicken (breasts and wings) that are seasoned and stuffed with shredded yellow cheese and cubes of smoked meat such as bacon.

The meat patty is then enclosed within lamb caul fat or pork caul fat and grilled. Alternatively, the patty can be dipped in beaten eggs and breaded before it is fried. Like other traditional meat patties in the country, this chicken meat patty is usually served hot with a side of french fries, fresh salads, and onions.

It can also be placed inside a burger bun or warm pita bread, and it pairs well with a cold beer on the side.
